✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the alluvial plains and terraces of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône, Delas 'Les Launes' Blanc is a classic expression of the region's white winemaking heritage. The wine is crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne grapes, which are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their delicate primary aromas and crisp acidity. This careful, protective winemaking style avoids oak aging to highlight the pure, vibrant notes of white peach, apricot, and white flowers, underpinned by a subtle minerality characteristic of the local soils.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1835 by Charles Audibert and Philippe Delas, Maison Delas Frères is an iconic Rhône Valley estate headquartered in Tain-l'Hermitage. Now part of the Champagne Louis Roederer family of estates, the house underwent a major quality renaissance through modern cellar innovations and meticulous vineyard stewardship across both the Northern and Southern Rhône. Delas manages prestigious parcels across heralded appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Renowned for its precision winemaking, the estate crafts deeply expressive, terroir-driven wines, from powerful, mineral-tinged Syrahs like Les Bessards and La Landonne to aromatic, textural Viogniers like Clos Boucher.
